Chapter 15: First Rehearsal
After school was finally over, Miroku and Sango stalked off together and left Inu Yasha and Kagome alone.
"So," Kagome sighed once Miroku and Sango were out of earshot. "Do you think they'll pull anymore pranks on us?"
"They better not," Inu Yasha replied. "Or else they'll get what they deserve."
He cracked his knuckles. Kagome laughed.
"Don't be mean, Inu Yasha!" she smiled and linked her arm around his. "Come on, we're going to be late for the first rehearsal."
"Right."
*****
"INU YASHA!!"
"Fluffy, not so loud," Rin scolded. "I bet you he's not even here yet."
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes and replied, "That's my brother..always late."
"He's not always late," Rin frowned.
"Yes he is."
"Be nice, Fluffy."
"."
"Anyways, be quiet. We don't want to disrupt the people around here."
"I was just calling out to my brother," Sesshoumaru said innocently.
"And I'm telling you that he's not here yet so just wait!" Rin exclaimed. Just then, a silver jeep pulled up in front of the shrine. She smiled. "I told you so."
*****
"Hey," Kagome tugged Inu Yasha's uniform sleeve. "Sesshoumaru is here already. Rin too."
"Figures," he snorted back. "My brother always comes before me. ALWAYS. He's what most girls would call 'perfect'."
"I guess you could say that."
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Nothing," Kagome answered quickly and stepped out. Inu Yasha did the same and locked the jeep.
"Girls," he muttered. They walked up the shrine stairs and stopped in front of Sesshoumaru and Rin.
"Wait here," Kagome called out to them as she ran towards the house. "I'm gonna get the weapons and I'll tell my family that you're all here-er- except for Kikyo."
Sesshoumaru, Inu Yasha, and Rin watched as the house's front door closed after her.
"So when is the last person coming?" Sesshoumaru asked calmly after a few moments of silence.
"I have no idea," Inu Yasha answered. "I would be glad though if the slut didn't even come."
"That's rude Inu Yasha," Rin's mouth tightened. "You shouldn't call somebody a slut."
"Well, it's the truth!" he snapped back. "That wench has practically slept with every boy in school except for me, Miroku, and a few other boys. Isn't that what you call a slut?"
Sesshoumaru eyes widened, "You mean-she IS a slut?!"
"Sesshoumaru!" Rin jumped up and down angrily. "Inu Yasha! Would you both please stop this rudeness!?"
"Be careful near her," Inu Yasha said seriously. "She thinks she's all that and she thinks she's above everyone else."
"I'll take that as a warning, brother," Sesshoumaru nodded his head.
"STOP THIS RUDENESS!" Rin hollered. "Even if she IS a slut, you shouldn't be rude and talk behind her back!"
The two brothers blinked.
"HEY!" someone shouted at the shrine steps. The three turned their heads.
"Oh, no," Inu Yasha groaned. "She came. The slut came."
Kikyo ignored his last two remarks and hugged him tightly.
"We're going to have so much fun, aren't we, Yashie?" she squealed.
"YASHIE?" Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru said together. Inu Yasha pushed her off.
"First it was darling, then it was dear, and NOW it's YASHIE?" he growled.
Sesshoumaru gave him a sympathetic look, "That is way worse than 'Fluffy'."
"So you hate the nickname 'Fluffy'?" Rin pouted. He shook his head.
"No! It's not that. I'm just saying that Yashie wouldn't exactly be the best of nicknames."
"Oh, okay," she replied dully. Kikyo looked at them.
"So this is the other swordsman?" Kikyo asked, pointing to Sesshoumaru. "He doesn't look very skilled."
"What did you say, slut?" Sesshoumaru said furiously.
"You don't look skilled," she repeated.
"That's it!" he snapped, but Rin held him back.
"Fluffy, stop it! Just ignore her!" she pleaded.
"And who are you?" Kikyo said coldly.
"My name is Rin."
"Rin?" Kikyo laughed. "What a stupid name! Did you make up the name 'Fluffy' too? It's like you're still a child. Are you playing a part?"
Rin gritted through her teeth, "For you information, Rin is not a stupid name and YES I did make up the name Fluffy. I'm 20 and I would appreciate it if you would shut up that rude mouth of yours. And of course I have a part because if I didn't, why would I be here?"
"Then what part are you playing?"
"The princess."
"THE PRINCESS?" Kikyo smirked. "I thought you were going to play the part of a servant or something."
"I can say the same for you," Rin sneered. "Who would have thought you would be one of the archers when you look and act like a servant girl?
Kikyo glared at her, walked up closer to Rin, and slapped her across the face. Rin stood there with no expression on her face as Kikyo stepped back.
"HOW DARE Y-" Sesshoumaru growled and held out a fist, but was cut short when Rin held an arm in front of him. Inu Yasha stared at the scene. Kikyo had slapped Rin! How dare she!
"You slut," Rin spat. "That was a low move."
"Don't call me a slut," Kikyo shot her a mad look.
"What else is there to describe you then? Wait, I know: ignorant, arrogant, selfish, self-centered-"
Kikyo held back her fist and swiftly began to punch straight at Rin's face.
"KIKYO!" someone shouted. An arrow cut narrowly past Kikyo's fist.
"Ow!" Kikyo cried, holding onto her bleeding hand. She turned her view towards the person. "Higurashi!"
Kagome pulled back another arrow and aimed towards Kikyo, "If you lay one more finger on Rin, you'll regret it! Step away from her now!"
Kikyo screwed up her face and remarked, "Why should I listen to you?"
An arrow zoomed narrowly past her left arm.
"Okay!" Kikyo retreated backwards, farther away. "I get the message!"
*****
"Please take your assigned places," Kagome's grandfather ordered. "For this rehearsal, we will only practice the moves. In the next rehearsal, we'll practice the lines and for the last rehearsal, we'll put everything together and have a play."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Grandpa."
"Okay, let's get going!" her grandpa barked. Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru walked a few yards away from them and got into fighting stances with their swords. Kikyo picked up a bow and a quiver of arrows and asked Grandpa.
"Sir, who do I fight against?"
"Why don't you fight against Inu Yasha and Kagome fights against Sesshoumaru?"
"I can't fight my future husband!" Kikyo whined.
*cricket chirps*
Inu Yasha stomped over to Kikyo and screamed into her face, "I am not your future husband and I will never be!"
He stomped back and took his stance again.
"Well then,..why don't you fight against Sesshoumaru?" Grandpa asked with a sweat drop.
"Fine," Kikyo muttered.
'Good,' Sesshoumaru thought. 'Now I can get back at her for hurting Rin and insulting me!'
Kikyo and Kagome strung their arrows and aimed at the swordsman they were paired up with.
"BEGIN!" Grandpa shouted.
Kikyo let her arrow fly and Sesshoumaru just tapped the arrow's head, causing it to shred in half.
"What?" Kikyo said in disbelief. "He just TAPPED it and it shredded!"
"So do I look unskillful to you now?" Sesshoumaru sneered. Kikyo just scowled.
"Yes, you do!" she snapped and strung another arrow on.
Sesshoumaru sighed. This was going to be one long and boring rehearsal.........
........
"Come on, Kagome!" Inu Yasha shouted. "Shoot another one at me!"
"I'm all out," she called out to him and showed him the empty quiver. He frowned.
"That was fast," he mumbled.
"Okay," Grandpa shouted to the pairs. "When the archers run out of arrows, we will move on to the next routine."
"We're all done sir," Sesshoumaru pointed out.
"Oh! So you are!" Grandpa smacked his hand on his forehead.
"Uh, Grandpa," Kagome (sweat drop) started. "Do you want me to get the other swords now?"
"Yes, that would be nice."
Kagome grabbed Kikyo's bow and empty quiver away from Kikyo's hands and walked off.
"Ahem," Grandpa cleared his throat. "Did you two boys know that you will have to slice through the girls' bows in the play?"
"But you'll be wasting bows," Inu Yasha retorted. "Good ones too."
"Good ones?" Grandpa chuckled. "You think those are good bows, son-in-law?"
Inu Yasha gaped. Sesshoumaru grinned widely.
"What-what did you just call me?" Inu Yasha stammered.
"He called you son-in-law," Sesshoumaru answered for Grandpa.
"Yes, I called you son-in-law," Grandpa said calmly. "I mean, you and Kagome are perfect for each other. A stubborn, sweet, caring couple. I heard Souta.singing that day too."
Inu Yasha face turned crimson.
"You have no right to call Inu Yasha your son-in-law!" Kikyo exclaimed. "I'm his fiancé!"
"I'd rather have Kagome as my fiancé!" Inu Yasha replied angrily.
"Really?" someone murmured behind his back. "The more I get to know you, the sweeter you always seem."
Inu Yasha turned around. Kagome. She was looking down at the floor. He blushed and looked away.
"Shut up, you wench!" Kikyo interrupted their moment of silence. Kagome looked up and bored holes through her.
"Here," Kagome tossed her a sword. "I hope you know how to use it."
She smirked and walked away.
"Easy," Kikyo yelled after her. "Of course I do! I may not have held one before, but I'm pretty sure that I'm a master of sword fighting already!"
"What~ever," Kagome rolled her eyes and unsheathed her sword. She gave it a swing and pointed it at Kikyo.
"Unsheathe it," she commanded.
"Uh, what does unsheathe mean?" Kikyo asked. Everyone fell over (anime style).
"It means 'take out'!" Kagome stifled a giggle. Kikyo rapidly took out her sword from its scabbard and cut her finger in the process.
"AH!" she shrieked and dropped the sword. "I cut myself!"
"So," Kagome said, annoyed. "It's just a tiny cut."
Kikyo gave her a huge frown and picked up her sword.
"Let's begin," Grandpa called out to them. "Begin!"
Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru charged at the two girls and swung their swords down. Kagome blocked Inu Yasha's sword and pushed it back with such a great force that Inu Yasha fell to the ground.
Kagome laughed and held out a hand, "Sorry."
He gave her a faint smile and wrapped his hand around hers.
*****
Sesshoumaru charged at Kikyo and swung his sword down.
"Ahhh!" Kikyo squeaked. "I'm going to die!"
He knocked the sword out of her hands. She screamed louder.
"I'M GOING TO DIE! WAH! I'M GOING TO DIE!" Kikyo wailed and fell onto her knees. Sesshoumaru kicked her legs.
"SHUT UP!" he roared. Rin, who was standing next to Grandpa the whole time, walked up behind Kikyo and gave her a huge whap on the head.
"Shut up," she said, repeating Sesshoumaru's words. But Kikyo didn't hear her because she was already knocked out.
A/N: HAHAHA! Kikyo, DIE! HAHAHA! Yeah! Past 200 reviews now! Thank you all! You are all so kind! Keep reviewing! I'll try to squeeze in another chapter this week since I reached 200 reviews! Thank you! ^_~
